Hi Nancy,

 RH> Yes, it's meant for outdoor so maybe some time it'll get put on a
 RH> porch or patio. We don't have room for it on our little front porch
 RH> here but it's doing well indoors. Some day we'll replace it with a
 RH> proper recliner or two.

 NB> Unless you get so attached to this one that you don't want a "proper"
 NB> one... :)

Steve might, but he also might want to go for a rocker recliner like he
had the last time. I had a non rocker type; I like it better and if I
want a rocker, well, I've got the one he gave me for my birthday in
1978.

 NB>  NB>> Resting when appropriate is good, too..  Don't want to overdo
 NB> and  NB>> damage things...  :)

 RH> No, I was actually surprised he walked as much as he did on Saturday.
 RH> He went out again in the afternoon for a bit as well & just came back
 RH> in from another one.

 NB> Well, his doctor said that walking was good therapy, so as long as he
 NB> does it wisely, that's a very good thing.  :)

He is being careful. Yesterday he walked up to the seminary campus to
attend chapel service and visit with one of his favorite professors.
Today he walked around the old part of town, came back with some
blackberry ice cream for me. I'm splitting it into 2 servings so as not
to overload on sugar carbs.

 NB>  NB>>> And good nutrition promotes healing, too, along with good
 NB>  NB>>> sleep... :)
 NB>  RH>> I'm feeding him good--tried a new recipe earlier tonight that he
 NB> said  RH>> was a keeper.Took some time to do the chop-chop work but it
 NB> cooked  RH>> fast and only used one pan (plus the rice cooker).
 NB>  NB>> That works.  :)

 RH> Tonight will be a stir fry--lots of veggies and a chicken breast half.
 RH> Not sure how I'll season it yet but I think I'll grab one of the
 RH> sauces we've got in the fridge.

 NB> Sounds good.   :)

It was, Steve had the last of it for his lunch yesterday while I was at
my quilting meeting. Tonight will be ham, cole slaw and wild rice. Easy
do for getting cleaned up and out the door for church. The cole slaw is
made, ham needs to be heated and the rice should be done cooking in
about 20 minutes.

 NB>  NB>> ... "I'm living and breathing; it beats the alternative"

 RH> I use this a lot but a friend in HI pointed out that if I weren't
 RH> living & breathing, I'd be with the Lord.

 NB> Yeah, every time I use it I do think of that... but most people around
 NB> me don't want to hear that I'd just as soon be there... ;)

I've gotten that sort of reaction too--on the lines of we don't want you
to go yet.
